Former Bengals and Patriots RB Corey Dillon will not face charges stemming from his arrest for suspicion of spousal abuse in California earlier this month.

Dillon was arrested on May 1 after his wife claimed she was assaulted, but the Los Angeles County D.A.'s office found insufficient evidence for a conviction. His wife has since filed for divorce. Dillon was also arrested in April for DUI. Fri, May 14, 2010 10:28:00 AM

Former Patriots RB Corey Dillon says he never contemplated a comeback in 2007.

"During the season, I had no itch," he said. "I am comfortable, I am at peace. I am content with how my career started and ended. I have no regrets." Dillon would be 34 if he returned to play in 2008. If not, the 4-time Pro Bowler ends his career with 11,241 rushing yards (4.3 YPC) and 89 total touchdowns. Mon, Feb 4, 2008 08:51:00 AM

When asked Monday if he's interested in free agent Corey Dillon, Coach Bill Belichick said he's happy with the four RB currently on the Patriots' roster.

Dillon's agent said over the weekend that his client would go back to New England if the Pats will have him. However, Belichick says the team doesn't plan to add a fifth running back, even after the season-ending loss of Sammy Morris. Kyle Eckel and Heath Evans are both contributing on special teams.

The Patriots kept Brissett off I.R. because they had to start him in last week's loss to Buffalo. He underwent surgery on Friday and will now be stashed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Brissett couldn't get the offense moving against the Bills, but he showed promise in preseason games and in his first start against the Texans. He should get a ton of run in the 2016 preseason and is a promising long-term prospect for New England.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the "plan is to make sure he's ready for the playoffs," suggesting he will be out for the rest of the regular season. Amendola does not have much fantasy value on his own, but his absence solidifies Malcolm Mitchell's spot in the offense. Mitchell is shaping up as a solid WR3 despite a tough schedule the rest of the way.

We did not need the confirmation after watching him on the field the last couple weeks, but Bennett said he plans to keep playing through the issues. "I never thought about [sitting out]. I just keep going," Bennett said. "I’m like the Energizer Bunny. I just try to find a way." At less than 100 percent and being asked to do less in the passing game, Bennett is a risky option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

It'll cost Jackson at least the first six weeks of the season. We assume Jackson's issue stems from an offseason knee scope. Last year's No. 111 overall pick started nine games as a rookie. The Patriots are moving forward with rookie Joe Thuney and Jonathan Cooper as their starting guards.
